Because we won't know who will have been the POTY until the year is actually over. We normally start nominating and voting on the "of the Year" Awards from the 1st Jan onwards, with the awards dished out at the end of the month. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

Also, for this award, the people are nominated due to their having won PotM, and it would be unfair to the winners of PotM for the rest of 2007 if we started to vote without them. -- BrigadierGeneralSirZombiebaron 19:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
